Answer:

A synagogue can look like anything. The only thing that makes a room into a synagogue is Jewish people praying and a cabinet, called a holy ark, containing the Torah Scrolls.

Answer:

At the front - where the rabbi and cantor and others stand, the "stage" or "altar", if you will - is called the bima (say beemah.) On the bima are one or more consoles large enough to hold the Torah when it is laid down to be read. There is also usually a special place where the Torah cover is placed while the Torah is open. At the rear of the bima, is the ark, which holds the Torah scrolls. Above the ark is the "eternal light", an artistic light which remains lit all the time.

Answer:

Inside the Synagogue, it has The Ark, where the Torah Scrolls are kept. Above this is 2 plaques with the 10 Commandments on them and above it, it has the NER TAMID (Eternal Light, which never goes out, to show that God's light is always and forever shining). There are seats on some of the sides for the men and a gallery above these for women and children. in the centre of the room is the Bimah where the Torah scrolls will be read from so everyone can see the Rabbi and the Rabbi can see everyone. Finally there are the 7 branched Menorahs on either side of the Bimah.

In EVERY synagogue, there is a room ... sometimes referred to as the 'sanctuary' ... where community worship services are conducted. This is the only room that all synagogues have in common. Depending on the membership numbers and financial health of any given congregation, and the age and physical size of the synagogue, it may or may not also include one or more of the following:

-- second sanctuary, for services with smaller attendance

-- classrooms

-- library

-- social hall

-- coat room

-- restrooms

-- kitchen

-- mikveh

-- utility/storage room

-- office

-- Rabbi's office/study

-- children's playroom
